How to Get Security Code

[wolfpackfan33]

Hey guys hope this is helpful to you all...

I just installed a 430 RBZ unit in my Ram and I did not receive the security code from the seller. I tried the usual codes (0000, 1234, etc.) and I kept getting locked out.

Turns out the seller had purchased the radio from someone else who had purchased it on eBay. The original owner had traded in his truck and i was worried I would not be able to get my code.

There is an internet service called JustAnswer where you can ask various types of questions. I asked the question of my security code to one of the Ram Experts, 5 minutes later I had my code and was jamming out in my truck.

The service is not free; however, you only pay if you are satisfied. $25 is a small price to pay and it beets the heck out of trying to guess the possible 1,000 + combinations.

glad to see you got an answer. and the radio works.

and what info did they need to get you a code?? i'm curious.

Just needed a VIN number and registration number from the radio. I thought that it had to be the VIN from the vehicle that the radio was originally paired with, thankfully I was wrong though.
